  • Thanks for stopping by! The first thing you should know about me is, I LOVE weddings! There is something so precious about two people committing their lives to each other. I love capturing little tender moments that happen; a gentle touch, a warm smile, or a passionate embrace. These are what I call "life's magic".

    Taking pictures of children and families is another passion! I sincerely believe that kids are some of the funniest people on this earth!

    I prefer to shoot outdoors or on location whenever possible using natural light. This includes coming to your home. I have portable studio equipment that I can set up wherever you choose! Studio sessions are available upon request. I am located in Grand Rapids, MI but am willing to travel throughout MI and beyond!

    My style of photography is a blend of photojournalism and planned creative posing. Roam around my site and get a feel for my work. My goal is to make people comfortable and for magic moments to naturally unfold.

Fitzsimmons Family :: Studio Session {Grand Rapids Lifestyle Photographer}

Rhonda, Joe, Margo, and Jack met me at the studio for a family session this past weekend. Margo is a dancing machine! She has a huge personality and is a little princess! She has a very strong fashion sense and kind of reminds me of myself at that age. I had a “dress phase” back in 2nd Grade when dresses and sassy hair were mandatory every day!:)

Love this grin!

Jack is sweet, quiet, and a giggle pants whenever his dad or Margo entertain him. Love his HUGE smiles!

Sibling L-O-V-E

What a beautiful family!

Margo and Jack thought their mom and dad kissing was pretty funny!

And a few of just Rhonda and Joe…Love this one!

Thanks for stopping by the studio Fitzsimmons family! I had a great time with all of you!

Amanda & Chris :: Engaged {Holland Wedding Photographer}

So, this may seem odd but seriously, I have owned this business since 2007 and this is my first ever winter engagement session. I’m not kidding. I have always thought that a winter engagement session would be completely romantic but never found that any of my clients agreed with me. That is, until Amanda and Chris. They are all about it!! Woot! Finally, my dream has come true!:)

Check out these romantic winter pics! I think we proved a point… winter engagement images are pretty flippin’ awesome. Amanda and Chris, I hope you agree! You guys were super fun to work with! Enjoy!

The photos look so romantic. Love the snow on her hair. Now a winter wedding in the snow would be beautiful.

You did such a wonderful job, and made it all feel so natural. The pictures are everything I wished for and more! Thank you so much for braving the roads and making our dream come true! You were quite a trooper making the hike through those woods in calf high snow just so we could get our pictures in the “pretty snow”. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day or a better photographer!
Many Praises!!!
